    More to come once i dig some up. The interior is in really rough shape, so i probably wont include those pictures until vinyl is redone one day
    Talk to spharis, he recently redid his boat all the way around. Turned out pretty nice. Check out www.wakeboatworld.com/index.php, he's got a lot of detail on what he did to his boat.

        I'll play,

        Boat: 07 20v
        Age: 25
        Lake: Shuswap, Magna Bay
        Home: Vancouver

        First year with the boat, and absolutely love it. Huge thanks to Jon at Redline, he is 100% class act. Also thanks to Big Al at Catpains' Village Marina. Tige has 2 solid dealers here in BC.

        Seen quite a few beauty tiges around magna bay (shuswap) as well. Any one here?

        Sad to see the summer ending, but looking forward to firing up the sleds...

            The pic of your boat in front of the waterfall is awesome

              thanks guys,

              the waterfall is just a little ways up Seymour arm on Shuswap lake. (not sure if that means anything to anyone). Pretty cool spot in the late spring.

              actually intended to have a shot of just the boat, but as you can see my family isn't terribly good at hiding.

              this waterfall is just around the corner, need to hike for a few minutes, but it's quite a sight when the runoff is going hard.

                This 42 year old lives in Calgary. The 20 V and Sky Ski are usually at Lake Windemere (Timber Ridge) where I will be this weekend with a good wetsuit a doz. brews and the lake to myself.
                Be bad, I will.
                The cheapest part if drinking is the bar tab.

                    For you Windemere guys have any of you tried columbia lake? The only public dock is at canal flats.I have not put the boat in there yet but it looks less crowded and the water temp is about 72 according to a moomba guy I was talking to.No place to dock the boat but I might try it for a night ski as we are in Fairmont.Just thought I would check and see if anyone has tried it.

                          I got mine done at hyperactive as I had some warranty work done also (minor).I guess some places winterize and then you go back at the beginning of the year and they re hook up houses etc at an additional charge.With hyperactive everything is done in one visit and the boat is ready to go at the beginning of the season with no revisits.We keep our boat at the cabin in a garage so cant help you with storage.

                            How cold was it on the weekend? When we launched at petes at the end of Aug the water level was really low.

                              Columbia Lake only has the one boat launch at the public beach in Canal Flats. On the south end of the where the boat lanch is it is too shallow for a Tige above idle, 2-4 ft. for 500m or so. The rest of the lake is 8-21 ft. deep, there are no services, or fuel on the lake. The good part is same temp. as Windemere, not much boat traffic and no cops.

                              I will winterize my 20V myself after Halloween there is a few more weekends of foilling left out there, the spiced rum helps.

                                A friends friend owns a place on columbia lake and says within the next 5-8 years there will be no boats allowed to kept in the water,day use only.If thats true it is a drag for all those people with the private docks.Columbia might be an ok choice to go out for a few hours exspecially on a weekend.Might have to try that next year.
